Hi dear, My wife and me will walk CF again in May. After finish the Camino, we have a plan to visit Morocco this time. So, I'd like to pack useless items like trekking pole, sleeping bas, etc. and send it to Barcelona. Because we will return to Barcelona from Morocco and leave next day. Here are my questions. Can I send my pack to Barcelona postoffice(I wish I can pick it up at Barcelona airport or near Catalunya)? If can, how long do they hold my pack? We will travel 11days in Morocco.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Do you speak/write Spanish? Correos will have the answer to your question, and they do handle enquiries in English. I know that along the Camino they keep parcels for a decent length of time, and my quick search seems to show that the answer to your question is yes. You have time to negotiate with your hotel where you will sleep on your return from Morocco, to see if they would accept and keep your parcel. All the best.

If you stay at a hotel or similar in Barcelona, just send it to them, hotels etc will receive and keep luggage for you if you have booked a room with them.
